With an increasing demand for expert evidence, we are offering delegates the opportunity to be guided through the expert witness processExpert witnesses play a crucial role in property and construction disputes, which are often decided on expert evidence. With an increasing demand for expert evidence, we are offering delegates the opportunity to be guided through the expert witness process.

This includes how to organise appointments, deal with clients and instruct solicitors, whilst ensuring you are working within the legal and regulatory framework which determines how expert witnesses must operate. Delegates will also be informed about the practical aspects of acting as an expert witness. For example, how to write an expert opinion and to give evidence, as well as addressing the legal issues of immunity, privilege and disclosure.
